Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 cups flour
  • 1 1/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1 egg
  • 4 tablespoons butter (melted)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 425 F. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. In a smaller bowl, combine the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter.
  • Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients then pour in the wet mixture. Use a wooden spoon to stir the wet ingredients until they begin to mix with the dry ingredients to form a sticky dough.
  • When the dough can no longer be combined with a spoon, use your hands to mix in any remaining dry ingredients.
  • Flour a working surface and knead the dough for about one minute or until it forms a ball.
  • Grease a baking sheet or cast iron skillet with cooking oil or butter. Gently glide a knife across the top of the bread in an "X" shape.
  • Bake the bread for 45-50 minutes, checking for doneness around thirty minutes. The bread should have a hollow sound when tapped. Cool 30 minutes before slicing.
  • Serve warm or toasted with butter or marmalade. This bread dries out in about 2 days, so eat it up quick! Enjoy!
